ANTHONY B. HUENINGHAKE AND JOHN THOMAS KENNEDY, OF CINCINNATI, OHIO.

DEODQRIZER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, ANTHONY B; Hon- NINGHAKE and JOHN T. KENNEDY, bothcitizens of the United States, and both residents of the city ofCincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Deodorizers, of which thefollowing is'a specification.

The object of our invention is to provide a highly efiicient deodorizer,which will be cheap of manufacture, and simple in con struction. a

One of the salient features of. our invention is'to form an outsidejacket or casing whose entire surface is filled with small perforationsor slots so that the disinfectant fluid or deodorizer is renderedcapable of being emitted in all directions so that a large area iscovered by its sanitary influences.

Another salient feature consists in providing an inner tube or canspaced fromthe 3 provided. with perforations 8 into whichouterperforated jacket and provided at its periphery'with a felt, clothwick, or other material suitable for allowing the disinfectant fl'uidtopermeate it by capillary attraction. I

The other features of the invention and its advantages will readilybecome apparent from the following specification.

Figure l, is a perspective view of our invention partly broken away onone side to illustrate its construction, Fig. 2, is a perspective viewof the inner can or tube partly broken away on one side to illustrateconstruction, and Fig. 3, is a central longitudinal section of theinvention.

The outer jacket 1 is preferably cylindrical in shape and has a bottom 2and a top or lid 3, the bottom is put in place by a seam and the lid 8is removable. In order to hold the lid in place a pin at is rigidlyconnected to the jacket 1 and a spring 5 connected at point 6 to thesaidjacket 1, its loose end 7 passing through a hole'in the casing, thelid the pine and end 7 of spring 5 enter to hold said lid in place. Ifit is desired to remove said lid 3 the end 7 of spring 5 is pushed V inand the lid can be removed. The jacket 1. and its bottom 2 and top 3,except around its rim 9 are all perforated. and this may be perforatedif desired. Anotherfastening device may be used for holding the lid onthe jacket. This jacket and its top and bot- Specification of LettersPatent.

Application filed June 24, 1915. Serial No. 36,140.

toinmay be made'of any size, from any 1na"- terial and of any contour.The inner can or tube 10 is less in diameter than the jacket I 1 so thata space 12 is left betweenit and said jacket. At its lower end this can10 is provided with a screw cap connection 13 through the medium ofwhich it is filled, and at its lower extremity the can 10 is alsoprovided with a circular trough or spaced= spaced cap off of the bottom2 of These legs may however be dispensed with v the jacket 1 in anydesirable manner found expedient. r

A small hole or perforation 18 is placed near the bottom of the can 10through which the fluid, liquid or contents of the can pass out andpermeate the wick 1 6. This wick 16 may be removably or. detachablyconnected to the can 10, in the present instance being removablyattached so that it can be slid off. 7

The device is portable and can be placed at any point or position whereneeded. In the present instance we provide arms as 20 by which is can beattached to the woodwork or frame.

In order to place the device in operation, the screw cap connection 13on can 10 is opened by unscrewing the cap thereof and the deodorizing ordisinfecting fluid poured into the said can 10 and when sufiicientlyfilled the can is screwed home. The lid 31 having been removed from thejacket 1, the can 10 is placed into the jacket, the feet 17 resting onbottom 2; the liquid will seep or drain out through the hole 18 andpermeate the-wick 16 and by capillary attraction rise and soak the wholewick, until it is thoroughly filled with the fluid used for deodorizingor disinfecting. When the wick be-. comes too dry and is notsuiiiciently soaked to act as a good germicide or disinfectant, the can10 may be refilled. The trough 14. catches all refuse or leakage orsediment and keeps the device clean at its lower end.

or supports 17 f V and the can 10 supported in Ne may use any kind ofdeodorizer, dis- 1 infectant or the like and place the deodorpossibledisinfecting and deodorizing qualit es emanating from the liquid usedWlll a thoroughly permeatethe atmosphere in all -'directions at thepoint Where the device is used, not only on account ofthis peculiarconstruction but inasmuch as the air, Wind ordraft or the like cancirculate through i h j et and space between'it and th I inner can. 7 v

While We have described one specific form and construction-of ourdevice, it will read ilybe apparent thatthe same is capable ofconsiderablemodification, and We Wish to be understood asclanmng thatsuch modlfications Wlll not deviate from the pr1nc1ple and spirit of(our invention, and still fall ithin the scope of our invention.

Nhat We claim as new and our invention land-desire to secure by LettersPatent is:

, 1Q Ina deodorizerof the class described,
